Chapter 22 The Game Within a Game

This time I was quite unconscious, and I knew in a daze that I had been carried to an ambulance and went to a hospital, and I saw the nurse giving me injections, and the doctor used a small flashlight to shine on my eyes from time to time.

I guess I've been dizzy for three to five days. By the middle of the day, the sun was shining on the quilt and woke me up.

I opened my eyes and looked around, and found myself lying on a hospital bed by the window, Panzi's bed next to me, and Lu Yufeng's bed by the door. My brother and I took a ward all the way down.

Pan Zi was still sleeping, Lu Yufeng had already woken up, and Cao Yuan was sitting next to him feeding him canned food.

I suddenly felt unfair, I was hungry for days, why didn't I have anything to eat.

I coughed vigorously to give him a reminder.

Lu Yufeng and Cao Yuan both looked at me, Cao Yuan just looked at it, and lowered his head again without caring at all, but Lu Yufeng smiled at me, gave Cao Yuan a look, and asked him to come and see me.

Cao Yuan is really good, he came over, but he didn't bring this and that can of food, just asked me with a grin, "How is it?" ”

I can say it in my heart, I don't get angry with him anymore, I want to eat canned food, and when I get better, I will go to the supermarket to buy a bag.

I thought about another thing, this time the serial murder case was solved, but many mysteries have not been solved, so I asked Cao Yuan, "Why did the murderer kill the old man?" ”

Cao Yuan was also interested in chatting with me, he moved a chair and sat down, and then said, "The white spirit medium you captured is called Bei Yumin, and the white-haired ghost is called Zhang Zhi, they are all from a place called Yunxian next to Longzhou, although it is called a county, but the economy is particularly backward, and some villages are still in the period of slash-and-burn farming, and they have a rule there, the old man who has reached the age of 60 will be abandoned in some 'caves', only given three days of food, let the old man fend for himself, and then take out the body and bury it again, such a 'cave' is called' 'Self-Death Kiln', also called 'Parasitic Death Kiln' or 'Old Man's Cave'. In the past, they had no way to enforce this rule, because there was not much food in the village, and they wanted to ensure the survival of the next generation, but with social progress and the improvement of economic conditions, food security was no longer a problem, but Bei Yumin's village was still guarding the tradition of sending death, and the three old men and monks escaped in the early years, and Bei Yumin, who was a sorcerer in the village, took Zhang Zhi, a feather person, to come over to enforce the 'criminal law', so that these 'dead' people would all ascend to heaven on the day they were sixty years old. ”

I tasted Cao Yuan's words, and the general meaning was understood, although he didn't explain the concept of Yuren in detail, but I could guess that this should be the wizard's assistant, or call the executioner, they are responsible for sending the old man to the cave, so he must be light, and he also knows how to fly the eaves and walk on the wall, and is good at doing some small tricks, I am also sure that Zhang Zhi cannot be born so short, he must have taken some drugs since he was a child.

I don't know what's wrong, but suddenly I feel a sense of sadness for those old people, they just want to live well, what's the sin about that? They still left the village early, and they didn't waste a grain of food in the village. But Bei Yumin used his right to kill innocents indiscriminately.

I thought of the series of strange murder methods by the way, and asked Cao Yuan.

Cao Yuan shook his head helplessly, saying that when he interrogated Bei Yumin and Zhang Zhi, these two people were not in a good mental state, and before they could ask about this murder method, they fell into a coma one after another, and finally died, but according to his and A Feng's guesses, burning their faces was a punishment for those who escaped, so that they had no face to see people after death, and the test results in the province also came out, the material used for spontaneous combustion, the main ingredient of colorless liquid is glycerin, and the most common substance in the black particles is potassium permanganate, and there are some other strange ingredients, It should be a drug that accelerates the spontaneous combustion reaction, and these black particles are often hidden in the two thunderbirds, and the thunderbird is a means used by Bei Yumin to pretend to be a ghost, and when the mandarin duck thief was killed by the feather man, he was also pulled out and his fingers were broken, and the tooth extraction should have allowed them to go to the underworld and not be able to sue, and the finger breaking was just to make them unable to write a complaint, as for the underworld coin, it should be a warning before they killed.

I nodded, but when I mentioned the Mandarin Duck Thieves, I thought about the reason why they were hunted down, and as I said before, they stole something they shouldn't have stolen, but we guessed the wrong object of suspicion at the time.

I really wanted to figure out what's going on here, so I asked again.

Cao Yuan didn't take so much precautions, and explained casually, "Don't Yumin mentioned it, the mandarin duck thief stole the information of one of his guests, this guest is a foreign policeman, he has done a lot of bad things, and his conscience can't get over, so he found a psychic medium to tell it, and wanted to wash away some sins." But for Bei Yumin, it was unforgivable for thieves to steal their homes, even if they stole information that was insignificant to him, so he sent Zhang Zhi to find an opportunity to kill the mandarin duck thief. ”

As soon as I heard that the police were doing something wrong, I immediately connected it with the incident in Suiyuan Village, and I guessed that the mandarin duck thief must be working for the mysterious man on TV, who guided us to Suiyuan Village and mailed us an audio tape at a critical moment, he must be using us to help him do things. But what he is, I don't know yet.

I got addicted, and continued to ask Cao Yuan tentatively, "What is the name of the policeman?" ”

Cao Yuan still wanted to answer, but when his words came to his mouth but he didn't say it in the end, Lu Yufeng coughed hard at the critical moment, and waved his hand to Cao Yuan and said, "I'm not feeling well, you can help me call a doctor." ”

Cao Yuan cared more about Lu Yufeng, so he didn't say anything to me, and strode out. But as soon as Cao Yuan left, Lu Yufeng stopped coughing, but turned his head to look at me, and smiled.

He was obviously smiling and hiding a knife, meaning to tell me not to ask so much, I sighed in my heart, knowing that I had failed again this time.

As a result, we spent another half a week in the hospital recuperating and were discharged together one morning.

Pan Zi and I were transferred, and we didn't need to report anything to Li Feng, Lu Yufeng was responsible for the follow-up matters, and when he got home, he took out the wireless communicator and said to contact him.

Panzi and I didn't want to disturb him, and we were a little evasive, so we found an excuse to go out for a walk.

Panzi has no purpose, so he wants to go blindly, but I want to go somewhere.

We drove the motorcycle and went to the ghost mansion together, which was the place where we followed the black psychic medium that night and encountered the elevator evil door incident.

But I haven't seen each other for a while, this place has changed, and when we came to the elevator door, we were watching two maintenance masters busy.

I asked, and the master told me that the elevator in this building has long passed the warranty period and is now being repaired.

I sighed in my heart, knowing that Pan Zi and I were scared in vain that night, what eighteen floors, there are ghosts in the elevator, in fact, it is not because the elevator is faulty, the program is disordered?

Before the two of us left, a man came out of the hallway, and he said hello to us.

I turned my head and saw that it was a black spirit medium, and he must have gone to this building to exorcise evil spirits and eliminate disasters for someone's house.

We had been wrongly blaming him before, and I suddenly had a very embarrassed feeling that we had been deceived by the appearance of this "", and sometimes being evil is not necessarily a wicked person, and being good is not necessarily a good person.

The black psychic medium was nothing, and he joked with us, and he took a picture of us with his phone, and showed it to the two of us, saying, "You guys are out of luck now, you can go out casually." ”

Seeing that the two of us didn't answer the phone, he smiled and walked out.

I looked at his back, and finally couldn't hold back and asked, "Master, do you know Zhang Zhi?" Why do you have that shrine in your home? ”

The black psychic medium stopped, didn't turn around, just turned his head sideways and thought about it and said, "I don't know what Zhang Zhi is, I only know that my friend who is also a psychic medium, he has evil thoughts in his heart, and his bad boy is also not good-hearted, I have no right to stop them from doing evil, so I can only try my best to dispel the evil thoughts in their hearts, and let them come to my house more often, or even spend the night." ”

I didn't know what to say, but the black medium walked out of the building.

I said in my heart that at the moment when we went to find the black spirit medium, he must have known a lot of things, but he chose to keep his mouth shut, from this point of view, he was also guilty, but he didn't do evil, but tried to make the white spirit medium slowly get better, from this point of view, he still has a little credit.

I'm an informant, and I can't tell whether he should be defined as a criminal or not, and in the end I didn't bother to think about it, and said in my heart that there are Longzhou police anyway, and if something happens, they just have to work.

I don't have anything to be nostalgic about next, so I beckoned Panzi to walk out of the ghost mansion together.

Although on the surface, this psychic curse case is over, I know that Pan Zi and I are getting deeper and deeper, and the whole game outside the case has firmly tied us and Lu Yufeng.
